Organizational Development

“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” Eric Hoffer

Organizational Behavior

“Show me a great company and I’ll show you one that has radically changed itself and is looking forward to the opportunity of doing so again.” Lawrence Bossidy

Leadership

“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.” Colin Powel

Negotiation

”If you don’t get what you want, it’s a sign either that you did not seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price.” Rudyard Kipling

Business Strategy

”In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product and profits. Unless you’ve got a good team, you can’t do much with the other two.” Lee Iacocca

You should have answered this question yesterday!

  • How do we grow our revenues?
  • How can we manage costs better in the future?
  • How can we retain our customers?

Beep!!! Too late! You should have answered this question yesterday!

While your manager uses the words business development strategy even to decide how many rolls of toilet paper will be bought next month, nothing really gets done. He never thinks ahead more than 2 years time. After that period or sooner he will be working for the competition bragging about his contribution to your strategy.

Strategy is not just a buzz word.  The same goes for business intelligence strategy. It is everything you do every minute except when you stay still. As an organization you must invest in people that define, plan, implement and review and let this attitude be your organizational culture.

Do not hire somebody that tells you: “I know where I am going and how to get there.” Find somebody that does it already.
